Android Support Library

The Android Support Library is offered as an SDK extra component that can be installed from the Android SDK Manager and located at the path sdk\extras, say C:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\extras. It contains static libraries providing access to newer APIs on older platforms and various helper classes.

Each library is called v<api>, indicating the minimum API level that they require.

To use those libraries:

simply copy them as static libraries into your project or

right-click on the project and choose from the context menu, Android Tools>Add Support Library
